Watching Jeff Green block Paul Pierce will make you super sad

Uh oh. AP

It’s always fun to watch old Celtics players with their new teams and reminisce about times that were. It’s less fun to watch old Celtics players cannibalize each other.

Such was the case Monday night, when former Celtic Jeff Green tracked down former Celtic Paul Pierce from behind and swatted away his layup attempt.

The play was a reminder of a few things: Pierce’s age and declining ability, our own mortality, Jeff Green’s athleticism and unrealized potential. Does this bum anyone else out?
